1. Bold Lips

As we slowly free away from masks, it’s no surprise that statement lips are back in style. Claudia Soare, President of Anastasia Beverly Hills, notes “I think everyone will want to play up their lips with bolder color once we start going out again.” Whether you opt for a vampy red or deep plum, you’re bound to look unapologetically fierce.

Getting ready in a rush? Accent braids are a quick, easy, and fun hairstyle to rock this fall. Transform your look in just under a minute by braiding your money pieces. As seen on Hailey Bieber, Addison Rae, Margot Robbie, and Dove Cameron, money piece accent braids are a trendy fall go-to.
